Upcoming events (2)

The topic for our June monthly meeting is "Tales of an Open Ocean" presented by Gaelin Rosenwaks.
*All those with an interest in the underwater world are welcome to attend this event as our guest.*
Gaelin Rosenwaks will be taking us on a journey from Antarctica to the Arctic, Palau, and points in between ending with her latest expedition diving the Blue Hole in Belize with submarines. During this talk, Gaelin will also be presenting her short film, "Coral: Glimmer of Hope" which was an official selection for the International Ocean Film Festival. This beautifully shot and inspiring film showcases scientists in Palau studying how temperature stresses coral, and how some species might contain the secret of adaptation and survival.
Gaelin Rosenwaks is a marine scientist, explorer, photographer and filmmaker. She began her career working in Antarctica researching over-wintering patterns of Southern Ocean zooplankton after which she earned her Master’s Degree researching the migratory movements of Giant Bluefin Tunas. Alarmed by the changes happening in the oceans, Gaelin founded Global Ocean Exploration, Inc. to share her passion for ocean exploration, marine conservation, and fishing through film, photography, writing and adventure. She now participates and conducts expeditions in every ocean to alert the public not only to the challenges facing the oceans, but also to what science is doing to understand these changes.

Join us as we relish one of the worst/best shark movies out there while picnicking in the park. Just over the river into Queens, Hunter's Point South Park shows movies with Manhattan as a dramatic backdrop for the screen which is perfect for Jaws as you can see in the photo. The movie is free & begins at sunset.
Bring drinks* for yourself & some food to share. You can make or buy the food, but it would be lovely if it was global in flavor (e.g., Italian cookies from Whole Foods). And don't forget to bring a blanket to sit on.
TO GET THERE:
Take the 7 train one stop into Queens to the Vernon-Jackson stop.
-OR-
Jump on the NYC ferry from along the east side of Manhattan as far north as E. 34th St. or as far south as Wall Street/Pier 11. There's also routes in Queens & Brooklyn along the water as far north as Astoria or as far south as DUMBO. Depending upon your route, get off at Hunters Point South or Long Island City Gantry Plaza. (The fare on the ferry is just $2.75—the same price as the subway. See the routes here: https://www.ferry.nyc/routes-and-schedules/)
*IS ALCOHOL LEGAL IN THE PARK?
Alcohol is illegal in the park, HOWEVER, the city has decriminalized minor infractions such as drinking alcohol in public so many people do drink there. See https://tinyurl.com/NYCDrinking
